3 Tips to Get Your Ride Ready for Spring
Winter can certainly take a toll on your vehicle, especially if you’ve been traveling. Between cooler temperatures, rain and snowstorms, and holiday trips, your car might just be in need of some serious TLC before the warmer spring and summer months hit! So if you’re wondering how you can help out your ride when you prepare for warmer weather, keep reading for tips on how to get your vehicle back in top notch condition!
Get a Car Wash and Clean Under the Hood
A good car wash is one of the simplest and easiest ways to help out your ride in preparation for warm weather. If you’ve been traversing through sleet and snow, the undercarriage of your ride could use a good and thorough cleaning. So the next time you’re at the carwash, pay a little extra for an undercarriage powerwash, or get under there with a hose in your driveway! When washing the undercarriage yourself, you don’t need any extra soaps or harsh cleaners, water with good pressure should work just fine.
After your car wash, it’s good to go ahead and look under the hood of your ride and clean out any debris such as leaves or dirt, as well as excess moisture. Checking under the hood of your car can help prevent things like overheating, and help out your battery!
Get Your Tires and Windshield Wipers Checked
During the winter months, your tires and windshield go through the wringer. Between snow, sleet, rain, and traveling down unfamiliar roads, the winter months can be harsh on your tires, and the elements could cause punctures and air leaks. So before you go out on a spring break trip, get a tire pressure check and tire rotation so that your tires and wheels can stay durable and reliable.
And when you drive through harsh weather, your windshield wipers can wear down and your wiper fluid can deplete. So be sure to do any replacements you need and get your fluids topped off before the warm weather hits!
